Spring is in the Air with Wicked Wednesday

It's almost Spring!!! I say that as it flurried this very morning here in NY. Ugh. But, my bulbs are starting to pop up from the recently frozen ground. So, on that note, I bring you Wicked Wednesday's newest challenge, Spring is in the Air. And we are sponsored by one of my favorite digi stamp companies, A Day for Daisies.

I used the adorable image "Nothing to Do" which reminds me very much or Karma Wilson's "Bear" series. If you have little ones, you've got to read these delightful stories. So, when I saw this image, and since these stories mean so much to my family, I knew I had to use this digi. I used a combination of alcohol markers and watercolor paints to color up the image.


I had some sweet spring paper that I used for my ATC base, with a little ink around the edge. Simple and sweet is what I wanted, and that's what I've got. Please be sure to visit the rest of the WW DT to see what they've created. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

February Smeared & Smudged Sketch Challenge

The new Smeared & Smudged challenges are up and ready for you to participate in! I got instantly inspired by Kelliā€™s card sketch for the month, as I have been working with different ideas for my next ā€œTarot Card.ā€ Haha! Thatā€™s actually pretty funny! If youā€™ve been checking in over the past couple of weeks, you may have seen my Misty Benson Tarot Set 1 ( Smeared Ink ) cards. Iā€™ve used The World and The Fool so far. Today, I bring you Death. Donā€™t worryā€¦itā€™s actually a joyful imageā€¦one that I intend to use a lot! First, hereā€™s the sketch. I flipped it and changed the ribbon and embellishment a bit. Can I just start off by saying that it is quite nerve wracking to slice your image??? I have done it a few times in the past, but I always get butterflies when I attempt it again. I colored the image and the card itself using nothing but Distress Inks and my Cut-n-Dry Nibs. My skull button at the top has been colored with Alcohol Inks.   The colors look a little off ...
